ICER Lightning Talks

We are pleased to announce an addition to the International Computing Education Research Workshop (ICER) this year. We will have a new session devoted to “Lightning Talks”.

What is exactly is a Lightning Talk? Lightning Talks are short, 2 to 3 minute presentations intended to further expand the ICER community and spark discussion among conference participants. The intent is for these talks to provide a venue in support of new ideas and newcomers to our community.

Potential benefits of giving a Lightning Talk include: getting feedback on a new idea for an empirical CS ed project,

getting a critique of a research design or data-gathering strategy,

showcasing a tool or technique that hasn’t been fully tested,

finding collaborators at other institutions, and

inspiring good conversations at the banquet (which will immediately follow the Lightning Talks session)

Interested presenters should submit a title and one paragraph description of their topic to Brian Dorn at bdorn@hartford.edu no later than June 15 for consideration.
